Caleb Corzine and Reece Waddington enjoyed their first upland bird hunt at Sandy Run.   Greg Ireland with Daisy did the guiding for an action packed morning.  Caleb and Reece were able to pick up a few of the pheasants left behind from the youth pheasant hunt the day before.

Bob Dasenbrook came out with Flame for another cold and windy hunt.   Chukar and Quail were on the menu and Flame found them all.   Quail headed for the trees, making for some interesting shooting, while some of the chukar grouped up and moved around the Tinkerfarm pond.

Don Cooper came out with his two sons, Tyler and Luke, and chocolate lab, Ruby.  They went after some pheasant and chukar.  Ruby did a good job finding the birds and the boys did great knocking them down.  Don had the shot of the year on a  pair of chukars, slowed the first one down with the first shot and then took both out with the second.  Unfortunately no video proof due to dead camera battery, but both Ruby and I witnessed the shot.

Ron and Matt Murfee brought their chocolate lab, Bailey, for an all chukar hunt.  Bailey’s first time out this year, she did a good job finding and flushing the chukar.

Chuck Johnson brought out his veterinarian, Dr. Michael Douglas, for his first upland bird hunt.   Shed, Chuck’s German Shorthair, did an awesome job on the pheasant, chukar and quail.  Shed even tracked down all of a six bird covey when five got away on the rise.  Mike starts catching up with the chukar and quail and knocks a few down.

JIm Jacobs brought out his grandson Jacob Jones for his first pheasant and chukar hunt.  Sol did the pointing and Jim and Jacob did the shooting.  Jacob knocked down his first birds and Jim did a good job backing him up.

Bob Dasenbrock came out with his English Setter pup, Flame, for a quail and chukar hunt.  It was a frigid, windy morning but Flame did a great job finding all the birds.  Some four bird mini-coveys for the quail, Flame tracked down all the singles.

Charlie Durbin put together a breakfast meeting and upland bird hunt for Stan, Mike and Kyle Kuhns.  Dr. Tanner Kirby, Charlie’s new veterinarian came out for his first bird hunt.  Burl Brumfield brought out Lucy, Buck and Jack, English Pointers and did a great job with the guiding.  After a breakfast of biscuits and gravy, eggs and fried potatoes, the field got filled with birds while Charlie held a business meeting.  Lots of action in this video, some nice covey rises and chukar flushes.

Bill Mock came out with his cousin Leander Greene for a quail hunt.  We set out some mini-coveys and Junior and Kate the English Pointers found the birds.  Check out the cover, recovering nicely from all the snow.  They got all their birds, Bill even got a couple twice.
